4.18.19

Kornit Digital, (NASDAQ: KRNT), a global market leader in digital textile printing innovation, has announced the introduction of the new Kornit Presto, the only industrial single-step solution for direct-to-fabric printing. The Kornit Presto solution eliminates the need for pre and post treatment of fabric and allows for high-quality printing on an extraordinarily broad variety of fabric types and applications. The Kornit Presto does not consume water in the printing process, making it the most environmentally friendly solution available for direct-to-fabric textile printing today.

The new Kornit
Presto comes with the ground-breaking NeoPigment Robusto, the best
Pigment-based ink available in the Industry. Implemented into the renowned
Kornit NeoPigmentTM process, the Robusto provides above industry standard
wash and rub results and exceptional color fastness across a wide fabric and
application range. The Robusto enjoys faster physical and chemical bonding
characteristics, enabling a significantly shorter curing time, while providing
industry-leading quality and a wide color gamut. The NeoPigment Robusto ink was
developed with sustainability priorities and is ECO PASSPORT and GOTS V5
approved.

The Kornit Presto
solution suits a wide range of business and application needs in a variety of
industry segments, including fast growing segments within the on-demand fashion
and home décor markets. It is a highly productive solution, available in
multiple configurations and able to print 450 square meters per hour.

Gart Davis, CEO at
Spoonflower, the world’s first web-based service for custom, on-demand fabric
and design creation and a long-time Kornit customer, commented, “We were
thrilled to be able to test the new system and found the Presto to be in a
class by itself; it prints beautifully on all kinds of fabrics, in a
single-step, with an environmentally friendly dry process, and now at a
multiple of productivity. Our partnership with Kornit continues to be
fundamental to our mission to make custom fabric accessible to designers,
creative individuals and small businesses all over the world. We can’t wait to
get going.”

Kerry King, Senior
Vice President of R&D at Spoonflower, added, “The unique integration of the
pre-treatment step into the printing process enables a level of efficiency
that’s key to our web-to-print business.”

Omer Kulka,
Kornit’s VP of Marketing and Product Strategy, also commented, “Kornit is on a
mission to reinvent the textile printing industry with game-changing
sustainable technologies for growing market segments. We continue to see
demand growth for on-demand production in fashion and home décor. This
revolutionary technology is further proof of Kornit’s commitment to address the
textile industry’s most urgent needs.”

The Kornit Presto will be commercially released at ITMA Barcelona (June 20-26, 2019) and initial orders for the system have been received.
